For any turtle watchers in north Cyprus, a message from Karsiyaka Turlte Watch……

“????????????????EXCAVATION & RELEASE TONIGHT????????????????
WEDNESDAY, 10TH AUGUST

We will be conducting an excavation and release of hatchlings tonight. We have hatchlings from other nests, plus whatever is found in the nest tonight, so you’re guarantee to see lots of them tonight start their journey into the sea. Please be aware if you wish to come along that this will be at the far end of the beach tonight, so there will be about a 5-10 minute walk there and back. Would recommend you bring something to sit on and something to drink with you. Please meet at The Turtle Shack, Guzelyali Beach, Karsiyaka at 6.30pm.”

It was another day at the zoo and this time with Ollie, Oscar and Josie. This time it was Howletts. We had a really good day.

We brought them back to our house and cooked dinner for them and then took them home. Lou, Rhys, Mal and I then popped across the road from them to the micropub for a quick drink.

We all took Ellie for a very long walk and then we went to Wigham Wildlife Park. We listened to the red panda talk and also the penguin talk again as Violet loved watching them. Then we went to the ring tailed lemurs and so listened to the talk there as Violet was fascinated at them climbing over everyone.

After a long visit to the park we then took Violet and Tris into Canterbury to catch the train back to London.

We found a new three piece suite and it was to be delivered in the morning. I spent all weekend fretting, whether it would fit into the living room. Mal cut up both of the other sofas so we were hoping that it would!! Out with Ellie first thing and then the delivery arrived and it all went in OK. Mal did take one of the doors off but it is in. We have been waiting a long time to buy one and kept putting it off knowing what an awful job it was getting the old ones in!

As soon as it was delivered Tris and Violet arrived and of course Violet wanted to go to the beach. One beach we hadn’t been to is Dumpton Gap and very strange that I didn’t know about this one as they allow dogs on it all year round.  So we thought we would give it a try and very good it was too as it seems not many other people know about it so it wasn’t so crowded as the others. We didn’t take Ellie as it was too hot.

We had the morning on the beach and then went to the Folk Festival in Broadstairs, which is only a short walk away.  A lovely day out.

I went to Fat club in the evening and lost another two pounds.

We took Ellie across the fields at the bottom of our lane and through the woods. Everything has grown over a lot of the paths so Mal took a mini scythe with him and cleared a lot of it so we didn’t get stung and caught in all the brambles!

Mal then went to the allotment while I made some beds ready for Tris and Violet coming. It’s going to be a busy week this week.

Later we watched the football, Arsenal v Man City. The season is just around the corner!

We were up early, mainly because Ellie woke me at 4am, I let her out straight away and she was sick. I don’t know why but she is a good girl and always wakes me. The only problem is I can never get back to sleep again. It’s going to be a long day! So we went off to Sandwich quite early and took her along by the river and even managed to keep her out of the water.

While I was there I went into a new hairdressers to see if I could make an appointment  for next week – The Salon. I wanted to try a new one, not only because Marcello is on holiday in Italy but also because I don’t think he cut my hair too well last time. He was too busy talking about his new Dyson hair dryer!  I have been going there for years so maybe time for a change.

Ellie recovered very quickly!

In the afternoon we went into Broadstairs as it is Folk Week. It’s great because there is live music in every pub, the bandstand and many other places. There is always such a lovely atmosphere. Late afternoon they had the parade down the High Street. I have to say I just didn’t understand the no drinking notice as everyone was drinking around the whole town!

We have had more viewers to our villa in Cyprus and an offer, there are a lot chancers around!

A message from Karsiyaka Turtle Watch for anyone interested in watching the turtles……

“????????????EXCAVATION TONIGHT????????????????
FRIDAY, 5TH AUGUST
We will be conducting an excavation tonight and releasing any remaining hatchlings after sunset. Please meet at The Turtle Shack at 6:45 if you’d like to come along and watch. If you haven’t been before, it really is an amazing experience..”

We walked through the orchard and it is surprising how quickly they have stripped the trees. Only the windfalls are left. Of course the apples aren’t ready but the trees are so heavy with them now.

After our walk, well as you can see Ellie does a lot of running, we went into Canterbury in search of new seating for the living room. We have seen a lot we like but getting it into the living room is the problem! The ceilings are too low, the doorways are too narrow and they are old small windows that have no possibility of moving furniture through them! This is a challenge. I know our two seater Rhys told us it took so much effort to get it in, please don’t ask him to move it if we moved away from here!

We had an early morning walk through the woods and the horses were pleased to see Ellie.

We then went into Broadstairs for Mal to get his hair cut.

Mal has been head hunted to teach teachers (no one seems to understand the new ICT syllabus!) and he needs a new security check carried out as his old one has run out so he had to send all sorts of certificates  to the board. They should have been verified at the Post office and so we went to Wingham. The guy there said we had to go to a main post office as he couldn’t do it. So, we then drove into Sandwich and they said the guy at Wingham is nuts, any post office can do it! Anyway, at least Sandwich sorted it. I think new people may have taken over that post office and they don’t quite know what they are doing. Earlier in the week I took a parcel in to be posted and was told it may be too big and they may return it to me. Surely it either was too big or it wasn’t?!!
